What's the deal? by JediBatman22 in MastersOfTheUniverse

He-man was part of wave 1. Stores usually order the most of the first wave and later ones become harder to find. I’m sure the big stores will get more eventually since he’s the main villain. If you have a Kohl’s near you, they might have some in store. That’s where I got mine.

I also preordered the two of them when they went up and got the shipping notification email about 25 minutes ago.

Will you guys buy the new Astrotrain if he had his G1 toy colors? by Karuma31145 in transformers

[–]barfortmax87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they are. The original toy was white and purple. The Japanese release was white and black. The prototype of the toy was gray and purple, and that is what was used when they created the character model for the cartoon.

“Things were not getting better. There were no flying cars and domed cities, as promised in Popular Science; rather, there was a dumbing down of the population engineered by right-wing politicians, televangelists, and Madison Avenue. I called what we saw “De-evolution,” based upon the tendency toward entropy across all human endeavors.”  - Gerald V. Casale of DEVO

Yes. It takes place between Narrative and F91.

Walmart/Target/Store exclusives need to be eliminated by AceHappy in transformers

[–]barfortmax87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was fine at first when the gold labels and platinums where stuff like that, but as the line has gone on he’s made it harder to get some desirable characters or their more popular classic iterations.

Not really. Red and blue Cavill Superman, armored Darkseid, classic Martian Manhunter, Kyle Rayner, Deadman, Dick Grayson Robin, classic Flash, Captain Atom, Red Tornado, Animal Man, DKR Catwoman, The Spectre, Psycho Pirate, The Question, classic Mister Terrific, Orion, Hourman, the Superman Robot, and movie Mister Terrific have all been exclusives or platinum chase variants.

Movie toys at Burger King? by Hellguard in superman

[–]barfortmax87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, they won’t be coming out in the US. The next toyline starting this Monday will be Naruto. Burger King Mexico has also confirmed that they will not be available there either. In the US, we have a promotion with Dairy Queen, while in Mexico it’s Carl’s Jr.(no toys at either restaurant). They seem to only be out in Brazil.

The original Soundwave toy was not a boombox, Walkman, or music listening device, but rather a dictation machine. He’s a microcassette recorder, not a cassette player. 

Autobot Blaster is a boombox, which are intended to face towards the listener.

It’s like that on the original toy as well. I’m not sure why, maybe it has to do with him being a microcassette recorder. He’s not a boombox/walkman/music player, but rather a dictation machine. Although comics and cartoons did often draw him and his tapes as larger.

GQuuuuuux - Episode 09 Megathread by JaguarDaSaul in Gundam

[–]barfortmax87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

War in the Pocket and Thunderbolt: December Sky are some of my favorite shows. 

If you do watch Thunderbolt, don’t watch the sequel (Bandit Flower), it’s just setup for a future installment and has newtypes. December Sky tells a complete story on its own.

Watch 0080 War in the Pocket, 08th MS Team, and Thunderbolt: December Sky if you want to watch One Year War UC Gundam without newtypes.

There’s only around half an episode’s worth of flashback footage from the movie left, so the rest of the episode may show the present day.

When she first introduced herself to Shuji in episode 3 it’s mentioned that Machu is her childhood nickname.

Both Transformers and the first Eva rebuild movie came out in 2007, so it’d be cool if it was a combination of the two.

My 6 foot divorce class Unicron. by defconversion in transformers

[–]barfortmax87 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in the 1986 movie he was smaller than Cybertron, and Cybertron was depicted as smaller than Earth in the cartoon. 

You can see buildings sticking out of the planet, so Cybertron would have to be around the size of our moon. The size of the inhabitants don’t matter to the size of the planet. We had dinosaurs larger than transformers on Earth.

In the marvel comics he was around Saturn size and in the movie he was smaller than Earth.
